I am disgusted at your lack of support for operators. Your company is failing. Your cannot pay your operators and we do not have the ability to talk or contact any one who will help. A very poor state of affairs, indeed. I want someone to call me or email me. by the way the feedback on the internet is awful. Of course you can cherry-pick the feedback on your site.
